Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have paused for a second straight day as both sides step back from military strikes — a potential diplomatic reprieve amid escalating hostilities sparked by Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. While President Trump still favors diplomacy, all options remain open if Iran continues aggression. Iran has retaliated by striking U.S. regional bases, including a deadly blow in Jordan. A regional mediator called the pause a “positive signal” for de-escalation, with talks stalled over Iran’s nuclear program. A new compromise under discussion would allow Iran more control over vessel transit through the Strait, but global energy markets and rising gas prices remain volatile. The U.S. naval blockade remains active, with commercial ships being redirected or boarded. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu is set to meet Trump in Washington, reaffirming support for U.S. pressure on Iran — while warning that any attack on Israel, direct or indirect, would be a grave mistake.
